The exhaust is made by Top Speed. Its called Pro-1. Yes it's 3 inch single out to 3 inch duals. If you do consider this exhaust, I have to warn you, it's D@MN loud.

Nope. Everything concerning lighting on my car has been done by yours truly.

I'd like to see some interior shots....being that your dash appears painted, is the gloss/PPW distracting at all?

The Pro-1's are known to have a fitment issue on one of their exhaust cans but yours look very even.. did you do anything to it to make it fit perfectly? Also, since it's a 3 incher, did you feel any low end torque loss when installed compared to stock? Thanks! And oh yeah.. clean Z!

The Tanabe GF210's are great. After I installed them, I had the dealership do an alignment and everything went back into spec, no camber arms needed.

The dash is not very distracting, but since I have the blue LED interior conversion, the digital speedo LCD has a very bad glare on it in direct sunlight causing it to be almost unreadable. But any other time, it's great. Pics included.

The exhaust is a complicated issue. I have had to modify it, but not because of cannister placement. When I installed the exhaust, there was absolutely no adjustment I could make to keep the y-pipe from rubbing on the cross member. I had to take it to an exhaust shop so they could weld a whole new hanger onto the B-pipe to keep the y-pipe off. We loosened everything before installing the hanger. After it was welded, we made sure the cans were as close to perfectly lined up as possible, and then tightened everything starting from the tips foward.

I definitely noticed a loss of torque from stock, but at 5k rpm and over, it screams! It definitely pulls harder than stock up top.

Actually it is getting tinted next week. I've been putting it off. The only problem is finding someone who will do a good job and put 20% on the sides. I guess I'm going to have to go with 35%.
